Bangkok, Thailand.

We had a great day at Angkor Wat and around. We ended up only buying the one day pass ($20 each) and it was enough for us. We just get so bored with architecture and old stuff after a while.

This was our first ancient ruin experience (and we’ve had lots of them over the past 8 months) that felt really adventurous. We could literally climb all over the fallen stones and ancient carvings.

It would have been nicer if the gardens were open because then we could have walked under nice, shady trees. We did see some beautiful architecture and more Buddhas, though.
